Greenwashing

Exposing Big Oil’s attempts to greenwash their pivotal role in climate breakdown

[Greenwashing @shellgreenwash1]

#Throwback - > In the 1980s, Shell began to carry out internal assessments of the CO2 released by fossil fuels, and predicted the planetary catastrophe we are witnessing today.

They did not act on their knowledge, instead lobbying to deliberately mislead the public.

[Al Gore @algore]

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

"We are nearly sure that we are alone now. No
one hears us... The problem is to be sure that we can evacuate the neonatal patients because we have
about 37 to 40 premature babies."

28 years ago today, my father Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight of his colleagues were murdered for protesting against oil spills in the Niger Delta. We will never forget. ❤️ #ogoni9 #kensarowiwa #Nigeria

I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived 4 years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the IDF.

When that is your world, it's hard to see apartheid when it's happening.

Before deleting and bizarrely blaming this drivel on 🌱, Silverman parroted oft-repeated falsehoods about water+electricity access in Gaza

We have 10 points to break down the logic underpinning this support for genocide, starting with a quick overview of conditions in Gaza:

[Noura Erakat @4noura]

Palestinians share tonight is the worst night of aerial bombardment.

That is horrific on day 16 of a genocidal campaign that has already stolen the lives of 4,385 Palestinians, including 1,000 children, & flattened entire cities.

What is the world doing? #CeasefireNow

#Gaza

[Noura Erakat @4noura]

Sweden, Austria, and Denmark have all officially suspended aid to Palestinians. Not one form of military sanctions against Israel for apartheid and crimes against humanity but now suspending aid to Palestinians under attack and siege. Bravo.

#Gaza #Palestine #Freedom

The contrast between the boundaries of discussion in the country that fetishizes allyship with Israel and the boundaries of discussion in the actual country of Israel couldn't be more stark.

from a friend in gaza in the last few days, shared with her permission. it is hell on earth.

[Defense for Children @DCIPalestine]

GAZA UPDATE: 447 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health. Nonstop Israeli airstrikes forced our field researcher to relocate his family four times yesterday & DCIP has been unable to confirm additional fatalities.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

BREAKING: Israel has used white phosphorus in military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, putting civilians at risk of serious and long-term injuries.

White phosphorus causes excruciating burns and can set homes afire. Its use in populated areas is unlawful.

The hospitals, because of the seige, are so short of supplies that we had to clean a teenage girl with 70% body surface burns with regular soap because the hospital is out of chlorehexidine (antiseptic).

[Miranda Cleland @MirandaCleland]

We published this update 2.5 hours ago and it's already out of date. The Palestinian Ministry of Health just reported at least 260 Palestinian children in Gaza have been killed by the neverending Israeli airstrikes.
The bombs are coming down faster than we can count the bodies.

NYC right now. Rainfall intensity is increasing as the planet heats as scientists have warned. We are heading for irreversible breakdown as we’ve been warned about for decades
